    That ranged DPS is kinda wack isn't it?

    Late game is a horrible slog that emphazise the worst thing of AOE3

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 04:39 PM PDT

    I absolutely don't like at all games that reach the dreadful stage where both parties are roughly matched and at max eco (or close to) with running factories.

    Both sides have to close themselves behind wall, and build units dedicated to kill said wall if they wish to be on the offensive. Harassment is almost non-existent: you're stopped by the walls, and you must have a bigger mass of units, leading to fight where the micro is reduced to its simplest expression, save for the culverins which must be microed to hell and back. There is no more ressource contest: you're both holed up and won't leave the security of your multi-layered wall until one of you drop out of boredom. Map control barely matters. You just have to breach the layers upon layers of wall.

    You're not fighting the opponent anymore, you're fighting the game. You're fighting the attack move that didn't recognized that your ranged cav is now in melee with the ennemy's skirmsher. You're fighting the pathing AI of the game. You're fighting the culverin AI that decided to fire on the enemy hussars instead of the enemy's artillery in range. You're fighting your skirmishers that decided to siege wall section instead of shooting at enemies. Against an accustomed opponents, you will be fighting layer upon layer of walls that will take a good 20 seconds should you have a few mortars (but not too much cause it dents your army population), aggravating even more the pathing AI issues and god save you if your opponent has a card to increase wall HP. And then, you did the breach, you killed the army. Fear not, the 5 barracks/5 stables will reproduce within 30 seconds all you have killed, and you're locked in a boring war of attrition.

    You're not fighting a skirmish, you're fighting a Verdun, or Somme battle in a game that is bad for that. You're hoping that your massed artillery will get that lucky shot. You're hoping that your opponent will drop out of boredom.

    Late game is where fun goes to die.

    Are there any "card draft" tournaments? Should there be?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:21 PM PDT

    Imagine the following match:

    • Bo3

    • Round 1: Player 1 picks a civ that both players have to play on a map first set by the rules

    • Player 2 picks a card

    • Player 1 picks two cards, Player 2 picks two cards, until all have 28 cards each (both players can't take the same card, forcing rarer cards to be used and making more orthodox builds impossible. Lots and lots of mind games).

    • Each assemble their decks in secret based on the cards they just drafted and battle it out

    • Round 2: Loser picks map, player 2 picks civ.

    Etc etc.

    How do you find the concept? I think it would be a nice way of exploring AOE3 mechanics and making players get creative with their builds.

    In retrospect, maybe it should be on set maps and a set civ for the opening map and the loser picks the civ for rounds 2 and 3. Anyways the card draft part is the more important thing, what do you think?

    Best AOE III mods?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 06:22 PM PDT

    I picked up a copy of AOE III at a local thrift shop and wanted to know what graphics and gameplay mods I should look at?

    Many thanks!

    (BTW, I did see a few popular mods needed Asian Dynasties for installation, but I only have AOE III base game)

    Screen tearing

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 09:45 AM PDT

    Hi there, I've been playing the aoe3 definitive since it's release and ever since the first day, I have been experiencing screen tearing. I am using r3 3200g apu and I don't have a free sync monitor. I have updated my drivers but this only happens when I play aoe3. No other game has the same issue. In addition, even if I switch tabs when the game is open, the tearing continues.
